the poetry of detail response

The poetry of detail means the beauty and the meaning found in the details of the film. Lynne Ramsay implies a lot of the plot through detail shots that you might not make the connection but will later. It is important to notice the emotion on the characters faces and the repetition of detail.


How to structure a video essay response

When structuring a video you should always avoid 'and then' and focus more on 'therefore' or 'but'. That way the video essay remains interesting to the audience. Also, you want a least one other story moving in parallel to your story. When the one story builds up you want to switch to the other story. That way, the audience stays interested.


editing space and time response

One way Satoshi Kon made is video's interesting was by his matching scene transitions.  It makes his films very surprising and visually interesting to watch. They also adopted this style in comedy and si-fi but usually that's not the film maker's main style. Also, by doing animation the eye can process the scene much faster than just live action. But, some films are incorporating both.

composing movement response

In the video it starts out by saying motion is the first thing that draws the audience's attention. There are five main types of motion in Akira Kurosawa's films; the movement of nature, the movement of big groups, the movement of the individual, camera motion, and movement in the cuts. By using movement of nature, even if the characters are still the viewer is still visual stimulated. Also, the movement of the background can help set emotions without using movement of the character
always surprising. The use of groups can be used to set a scene with big emotion. If they all react the same it sets up high emotions. Also, the movement of the individual is important in conveying the message of the film. Also, camera motion and cut scenes are very important for creating a visually pleasing film. By varying the camera motion and cuts you can create a visually interesting film.

The video then goes into how the avengers scene looks flat due to non varied camera motion, and the still background.
